Positioning the CAD drawing upon import

- [Instructor] Once again, we're staying in our…03_Simple Building Project.rvt file,…and as you can see it's nice and clean…because we set that up in the previous video.…So, we're going to go back to the Insert tab…on the Revit ribbon, into the Link panel,…and click on Link CAD.…Usual workflow and process, we select the GND Floor Plan.…Now, what I'm going to do each time, you'll notice,…is make sure that certain settings are just set…the way they were in the previous videos.…So I'm going to make sure that Colors…are Black and White again.…Make sure that Layers\Levels are set to All.…

Autodesk Revit Architecture is an industry-leading software for 3D architectural conceptual modeling and BIM drafting and scheduling. In this course, Shaun Bryant takes you through how to work with AutoCAD drawings that are imported or linked into Revit Architecture, using the standards and settings that come through from AutoCAD into Revit. To help you grasp the advanced techniques covered in this course, Shaun starts with a blank Revit project, and demonstrates how to import and link a CAD drawing, and use the CAD data to begin developing your Revit model. Throughout the course, he shares tips and tricks for working with the dialog boxes that you use to link your CAD drawings.
